2017-02-22don't install new deps of candidates for kept back pkgsDavid Kalnischkies
In effect this is an extension of the 6 years old commit a8dfff90aa740889eb99d00fde5d70908d9fd88a which uses the autoremover to remove packages again from the solution which are no longer needed to be there. Commonly these are dependencies of packages we end up not installed due to problem resolver decisions. Slightly less common is the situation we deal with here: a package which we wanted to upgrade sporting a new dependency, but ended up holding back. The problem is that all versions of an installed reverse dependencies can bring back a "garbage" package – we need to do this as there is nothing inherently wrong in having garbage packages installed or upgrade them, which itself would have garbage dependencies, so just blindly killing all new garbage packages would prevent the upgrade (and actually generate errors). What we should be doing is looking only at the version we will have on the system, disregarding all old/new reverse dependencies.

2015-12-19tests: support spaces in path and TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies
This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to write tests which could run successfully in such environments. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04suggest 'apt autoremove' to get right of unneeded packagesDavid Kalnischkies
The bugreport is more conservative in asking for a conditional, but given that this is a message intended to be read by users to be run by users we should suggest using a command intended to be used by users. And while we are at, add sudo to the message – conditional of course. Closes: 801571

2015-08-10implement a more generic ShowList methodDavid Kalnischkies
apt-get is displaying various lists of package names, which until now it was building as a string before passing it to ShowList, which inserted linebreaks at fitting points and showed a title if needed, but it never really understood what it was working with. With the help of C++11 the new generic knows not only what it works with, but generates the list on the fly rather than asking for it and potentially discarding parts of the input (= the non-default verbose display). It also doubles as a test for how usable the CacheSets are with C++11. (Not all callers are adapted yet.) Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-03-16test exitcode as well as string equalityDavid Kalnischkies
We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for a specific output as well. Git-Dch: Ignore
2013-08-12add chronic-like testsuccess/testfailure helpersDavid Kalnischkies
For many commands the output isn't stable (like then dpkg is called) but the exitcode is, so this helper enhances the common && msgpass || msgfail by generating automatically a msgtest and showing the output of the command in case of failure instead of discarding it unconditionally, the later being chronic-like behaviour Git-Dch: Ignore
2012-11-09* cmdline/apt-get.cc:David Kalnischkies
- do not call Mark{Install,Delete} from the autoremove code with the FromUser bit set to avoid modifying the auto-installed bit
2012-04-05* cmdline/apt-get.cc:Bogdan Purcareata
- distinguish information about 'apt-get autoremove' based on the number of auto-removed packages both before and after the list of packages (Closes: #665833)
